                  A TRIBUTE TO EAGLE SCOUT TREVOR IMM

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, May 18, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Trevor Imm of Boy Scout Troop 208 in Clive, Iowa, for 
achieving the rank of Eagle Scout. The Eagle Scout rank is the highest 
advancement rank in scouting. Only about five percent of Boy Scouts 
earn the Eagle Scout Award. The award is a performance-based 
achievement with high standards that have been well-maintained for more 
than a century.
  Trevor Imm, now a 14-year old freshman at Prairieview School in 
Waukee, has been a member of the Scouts since he was a Tiger Cub with 
Pack 181 at Walnut Hills Elementary School in Urbandale. His parents, 
Mark and Rachael Imm, were his Den Leaders for four years during Cub 
Scouts. After earning the Arrow of Light Award, the highest award as a 
Webelos Scout, Trevor crossed over to Boy Scouts with Troop 208 in 
Clive, Iowa, where his Dad joined him as an Assistant Scoutmaster. 
Trevor has served in several leadership roles for the Troop and was 
elected by his fellow Scouts in Troop 208 to the Order of the Arrow, 
where he became a Brotherhood Member with the Mitigwa Lodge.
  To earn the Eagle Scout rank, Trevor was required to pass specific 
tests that are organized by objectives and merit badges, and complete 
an Eagle Project to benefit the community. Trevor's Eagle Project was 
centered around Ashworth Road Baptist Church in West Des Moines. His 
plans included remodeling their ``For Kid's Sake Foster Family Clothing 
Closet.'' Trevor organized the remodel so that it included a fresh coat 
of colorful paint, new clear bins for a more organized system of 
storing and displaying items, the installation of new wall shelving for 
donated shoes, and the construction of freestanding shelves for jeans. 
He even led the creation of a safe play area for young children to play 
while parents shop.
  Mr. Speaker, the example set by this young man and his family in 
serving their community demonstrates the rewards of hard work, 
dedication, and perseverance. I am honored to represent Trevor and his 
family in the United States Congress. I know that all of my colleagues 
in the House will join me in congratulating him on reaching the rank of 
Eagle Scout, and I wish him continued success in his future education 
and career.
